IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING 2021-2022 MEDALLIONS:
Per Authority regulation 52 Pa.

The Enforcement Department will immediately begin issuing the 2021-2022 Medallions to eligible taxicabs. Medallion owners should send their drivers to the TLD Headquarters, 2415 South Swanson Street, Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., excluding Holidays (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day), to be issued the new medallions.

***WAV MEDALLIONS ISSUED ON ALL DATES***
Failure to have a 2021-2022 medallion issued and attached to your taxicab on or before December 31, 2020 shall result in the taxicab being removed from service.
REMINDER TO MEDALLION OWNERS OF 2012 MODEL YEAR TAXICABS:
In compliance with the age and mileage limitations for taxicabs outlined in the law and Authority regulations, the last day on which a 2012 model year vehicle may be operated in taxicab service is December 31, 2020. This date is fast approaching, take action now to avoid delays. See 53 Pa.C.S. § 5714 and Act 164 of 2016 – 53 Pa.C.S. § 57B02 (c)(6); see also 52 Pa. Code § 1017.4. Consequently, the new 2021-2022 medallions will not be issued to 2012 model year taxicabs. Failure to remove a 2012 taxicab prior to January 1, 2021 will result in the vehicle being placed out of service and the issuance of a penalty.
